The 4th Annual Gayly Bowl<br />
IOOV held its 4th Annual Gayly Bowl in honor of National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.<br />
Six teams participated with 17 male-identified people. <strong>In</strong>dividuals participated in a day of obstacle<br />
courses, food and prizes at an outdoor park. The Gayly Bowl serves as a point of entry for HIV/AIDS<br />
awareness and prevention while engaging in healthy activities. It is also a way to encourage<br />
community members to collectively take action toward this national epidemic that continues to affect<br />
LGBT POC communities, particularly young MSM of color. This popular event has helped strengthen<br />
and raise the profile of our commitment to reducing the impact of HIV.<br />
Community and Allied teams competed in a day of obstacle courses in<br />
